“.November Has Been Harsh and Unusual for U.S. Stocks
.
U.S. markets closed for Thanksgiving and are set to finish November in the red, ending a six‑month rally for the S&P 500 and Dow and a seven‑month gain for the Nasdaq, as higher‑for‑longer Fed rates, inflation worries, and a tech‑earnings divide weigh on stocks. Futures are flat, Asian markets are mixed, and the Nikkei rose on hot inflation data. Meanwhile, the U.S. will cut benefits for non‑citizens, South Korea sanctioned a Cambodian fraud group, and Russia signaled openness to peace talks. Europe’s strict AI regulations are creating niche opportunities in edge‑computing, secure‑cloud services, and green‑energy‑powered data centers, attracting investor capital.
